AWS Batch infrastructure, it can accomodate the needs of more advanced
users who want to augment their Dockerfiles or specify instance types.

Cloudknot's simple API and its conditionally acceptable execution
time compared to other distributed computing frameworks make it a
viable tool for researchers who want distributed execution of their
computational workflow, from within their Python environment, without

Cloudknot trades runtime performance for development performance and
is best used when development speed matters most. Its simple API makes
it a viable tool for researchers who want distributed execution of
their computational workflow, from within their Python environment,
without the steep learning curve of learning a new platform. It may
have business applications as well since data scientists performing
exploratory analysis would benefit from short development times.

Unlike Dask, Cloudknot does not support computational pipelines that
define dependencies between different tasks. Future releases may support
job dependencies so that specific jobs can be scheduled to wait for
the results of previously submitted jobs. Cloudknot could also provide
